Jesus and Paganism

[Marnie]

So, instead of raising the dead, he gave some guy the Heimlich? Exaggeration is one thing...lol, boldfaced bullshit is another. Go ahead and stretch it a little, but don't break it......

I just noticed I said "As in Jesus existing as a person and the miraculous claims of miracles and his Resurrection are exaggerated." Whoops. That was a really awful choice of words.

Obviously I don't think he performed miracles or rose from the dead. I think the basis for the Gospels comes from a Jewish preacher starting a small Jewish sect. Eventually sayings, miracles, and divine claims are tacked on and he vaguely became the inspiration for the Jesus of the Gospels.
